I am trying to become more "on purpose" with keeping up with the kid's school assignments. For myself. I always make an effort to read the books they are reading, but don't always succeed. It's important for me to read what they read because we do oral narrations!
I am also going through Polished Cornerstones and Plants Grown Up with the kids, and there is some good memory work that I feel I should be doing along with them. Bible verses and catechism stuff. Am I the only person in the world who used to think that the word "catechism" implied something from the Catholic church? You'll have to forgive me, I grew up a Southern Baptist.
Anyway, I sat down and made myself a schedule tonight. First and Only Husband has taken the oldest three camping this weekend, so I've had a few minutes to THINK. It's been a nice change of pace from the almost-hectic go, go, go of chores, refereeing & etc.
Here's the schedule I made for myself for this coming week:
Well, never mind. ;-) I tried to cut and paste it from Word, but it looks freaky when I do so, so you'll have to take my word for it. But I'm excited about having my own school schedule. I think it will go a long way in making me feel more ready to face each school day, rather than hurriedly reading through things as I can through the day so I can stay caught up. I am also a check-off gal. Having something like this schedule in front of me is going to be a major motivator.
Hi Becca,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I looked for a "try before you buy" sample video at that site, but didn't see anything. Losing weight is just plain hard work. :o(
Another area where I need exercise is that scheduling thing... lol. Good for you, getting it together.
Sally
Oh, you are such a kindred spirit..... Looking forward to chatting on the 29th! Sharon
